2002-08-13 14:12:31 +00:00
.Pa /dev/snp?
are snoop devices which allow users to attach to any tty
1995-02-23 01:25:48 +00:00
and watch activities on it.
The kernel must be compiled with
.Cd "device snp" ,
or the
.Nm
2002-08-13 14:12:31 +00:00
module must be loaded,
for these devices to be available.

To associate a given
.Nm
device with a tty to be observed, open the
.Nm
2002-08-13 14:12:31 +00:00
device and then use the
.Dv SNPSTTY
ioctl.
The argument passed to the
.Xr ioctl 2
is the address of a variable of type
.Vt udev_t .
2002-08-13 14:12:31 +00:00
To detach the
.Nm
device from a tty use a pointer to a value of
.Dv NODEV .

the open
.Nm
1995-02-23 01:25:48 +00:00
device.
